Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The candidate needed to consider that her nonverbal communication must match what she was saying. While she communicated big plans and said all the right things, her lack of eye contact and movement in her seat may have suggested nervousness, lack of confidence, or lack of interest. It is important for job candidates to not only say the right things but also present themselves in a confident and professional manner, matching their verbal and nonverbal communication.
